Epithalon

‍

Overview:

Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide based on Epithalamin, a natural polypeptide extract of the pineal gland. It has attracted considerable research interest for its observed interaction with telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining the protective caps at the end of chromosomes known as telomeres. 

Its pineal gland origin also makes it a relevant subject in circadian rhythm and neuroendocrine regulation research, offering a dual focus for studies examining both cellular ageing biology and sleep-wake cycle signalling.

‍

Research Applications:

• Studying telomerase activation and its role in chromosomal stability and telomere maintenance
• Investigating the relationship between telomere length dynamics and cellular ageing models
• Examining pineal gland-derived compounds and their influence on circadian rhythm signalling
• Research into epigenetic regulation mechanisms and how tetrapeptides interact with gene expression pathways

‍

Commonly Paired With:

Frequently studied alongside DSIP in combined pineal function and circadian rhythm research, and with NAD+ in broader cellular longevity and DNA repair pathway protocols. Also, a core component of the Sleep Bundle.  Bacteriostatic Water required for reconstitution, available separately.

‍

Storage & Handling:

Store lyophilised peptide at -20°C. Once reconstituted, store at 2°C–8°C and use within 28 days. Handle in a sterile environment. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
